ST. LOUIS - The coach known as Mad Mike when he directed the high-powered St. Louis Rams offense has a much lower profile in his new job.
The Detroit Lions did not make Mike Martz, on the comeback trail as an offensive coordinator, available to the media before Sunday's game against the team he led to two Super Bowls. New coach Rod Marinelli downplayed the St. Louis connection.

"Job at hand is what we talked about," Marinelli said. "We have a job to do this week. When you're on the job and on your details, you focus on your job and details."

Regardless, the architect of the "Greatest Show on Turf" is the focal point of the matchup.

Martz was fired in January following a turbulent 6-10 season in which he missed the final 11 games while being treated for a heart ailment. His medical condition did not prevent a feud with the front office from boiling over, although his former players remember the good times.
"I might try to say 'Hi' to him before the game," Rams defensive end Leonard Little said. "He's been good to a lot of people around here."
Wide receiver Dane Looker expects Martz, who was 56-36 with the Rams, to get a nice reception.

So...can Martz turn the Lions offense around?...or has Millen completely destroyed this team.

Completely destroyed? I think that had pretty well been accomplished before he even got there. It'll take time, by Marinelli and Martz will get this team turned around. I just hope for the sake of all the Lions fans out there that these guys have a lot of input on draft day, lest Millen bring in more deadweight that they'll either wind up cutting or trading at a premium.
